Be Attuned to Your Own Responses
Be Attuned to Your Own Responses
Understanding that your behavior may influence other's behavior is a helpful de-escalation tool.
You might reflect by asking yourself:
- How am I feeling?
- How am I responding?
- What is my response communicating?
"Be aware that the way you express yourself can have a significant effect on how others respond to you. Those who know you well may respond very differently than do strangers. Effective communication skills are an essential tool in violence prevention." - CDC on Occupational Violence
